I love it. He's always been a bit fiery, but now he doesn't have to deal with Moss' fragile psyche, and the fact that he is the de facto leader of the offense with no offensive coordinator means he can and needs to chew people out at times.

I hope he is absolutely rip **** against the Jets whenever we miss an opportunity. Theres nothing like a really fired up Brady! We all recall the Steelers game two weeks ago when he literally screamed his head off at the offense for a missed third down opportunity. Then I also loved the spike after his 4 yard TD sneak. Pointing at the Steelers crowd and spiking it with every bit of strength and passion he had. It was kinda beautiful.

Wasn't it Brady himself who said the team was lacking leadership last year? Seems like he has taken it upon himself and it's great to see.

I agree 100%, and I'm glad to see it too.

Brady has always played with some emotion, but he seems more vocal this season especially. I think a lot of it has to do with the youth on this team. There are so many kids contributing that he probably feels he needs to be more of a leader. With two rookie tight ends in Gronk and Hernandez, two second-year receivers still finding their way in Tate and Edelman, and a second-year tackle in Vollmer on the offensive side alone, there is a lot of youth and inexperience to work with and develop.

In the past, he had a lot of the old Patriots around to help get the message across, from Bruschi and Vrabel and Harrison and Willie to Troy Brown and Faulk and Fauria and Moss and Welker. But now he's basically the only connection to the glory days, and it's up to him to take more of a lead.

I think that really is why we've seen him be way more vocal than in the past, and also why I think any criticism of his emotional side is misguided. Brady's saying more this season because he needs to, and I'm glad he's doing it.
